Annual salary = hourly rate × annual work hours. Annual work hours equal hours per week multiplied by weeks worked per year.
HOW IT WORKS
How to use the hourly to salary calculator
This hourly to salary calculator turns one pay rate and a work schedule into a transparent gross salary comparison.
Describe the schedule
Enter average hours per week and weeks worked per year. Add workdays per week when you are starting from daily pay or want to inspect the daily equivalent.
Review every time period
The result shows annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and hourly views. Read the assumptions beside the number so you can explain or adjust the comparison.
THE MATH
How hourly pay becomes an annual salary
The calculator annualizes your rate using the schedule you enter instead of silently assuming that every job has the same number of paid hours.
For an hourly rate, annual work hours equal hours per week multiplied by weeks worked per year. The annual salary estimate is the hourly rate multiplied by those annual work hours. With $24.04 per hour, 40 hours per week, and 52 weeks, the unrounded result is $50,003.20; the displayed number is rounded to two decimals.
Daily pay is converted by multiplying the daily amount by workdays per week and weeks worked per year. Weekly pay is multiplied by weeks worked. Monthly pay is multiplied by 12. In each case, the calculator keeps the schedule visible so a monthly or weekly figure is not confused with the number of hours actually worked.
The reverse calculation is not a tax calculation. It estimates gross compensation before income tax, payroll deductions, retirement contributions, health benefits, bonuses, commissions, overtime premiums, or unpaid administrative time. Use a location-specific payroll tool when you need take-home pay.
PRACTICAL EXAMPLES
Examples of hourly to salary conversions
Try each scenario with the same inputs in the tool. Changing the schedule can change the annual estimate even when the rate stays the same.
A $24 hourly rate
At 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year, $24 per hour produces $49,920 per year before taxes. The monthly equivalent is $4,160, and the weekly equivalent is $960.
$49,920 / yearA $30 hourly rate
A $30 rate on a 40-hour, 52-week schedule produces $62,400 per year. If the job has 48 paid weeks instead, the estimate falls to $57,600 because fewer weeks are counted.
$62,400 / yearA $1,000 weekly rate
A weekly rate of $1,000 over 50 working weeks produces $50,000 annually. Enter 50 weeks instead of 52 when two weeks are unpaid or outside the contract.
$50,000 / yearREADING THE RESULT
What the annual salary estimate means
Use the result from this hourly to salary calculator as a common unit for comparing offers, contracts, and schedules. It is a planning estimate, not a promise from an employer.
An hourly to salary conversion is most useful when two offers use different pay language. A salaried role may advertise an annual figure while a contract role lists an hourly rate. Putting both on the same gross-pay basis helps you ask better questions about hours, unpaid time, benefits, and stability.
The schedule is part of the answer. A rate of $30 for 25 hours each week does not represent the same annual compensation as $30 for 40 hours. Likewise, a seasonal worker who is paid for 46 weeks should not use 52 weeks just because it is a common default. Enter the average schedule you actually expect.
The daily, weekly, monthly, and annual rows are views of the same assumption. Rounded values may not add perfectly when you multiply them back together. For an offer decision, compare unrounded source figures and the full compensation package rather than relying on one displayed row.
WHEN IT HELPS
Reasons to convert hourly pay to salary
A salary equivalent gives context while you compare jobs, freelance work, and schedule changes.
Compare job offers
Put an hourly offer beside an annual salary offer using the same hours and paid weeks. Then review health coverage, paid leave, retirement contributions, and other compensation separately.
Plan contract income
Estimate the gross annual value of a contract rate before you account for unpaid sales, administration, equipment, insurance, and self-employment costs.
Test schedule changes
Change hours or weeks to see how part-time work, a seasonal contract, or unpaid leave changes the annual amount without changing the headline rate.

These are gross examples, not net pay. Change the hours and paid weeks above when your schedule is different.
ACCURACY NOTES
Assumptions and limitations
The estimate is only as useful as the pay and schedule details behind it.
Gross is not take-home pay
Taxes, benefits, retirement, insurance, and local payroll rules can reduce the amount you receive. This general calculator does not ask for those personal details.
Paid weeks matter
The 52-week default represents a full-year schedule. Use a lower number for unpaid vacation, school-year work, seasonal employment, or a contract with gaps.
Benefits need a separate comparison
An hourly rate may not include paid leave, health insurance, bonuses, or employer contributions. Compare the full package before choosing an offer.
Currency is a display label
Selecting USD, CAD, GBP, EUR, or AUD changes the symbol shown beside the result. No exchange rate or purchasing-power comparison is applied.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Hourly to salary calculator questions
Answers to common questions about turning an hourly rate into a yearly salary estimate.
How do I convert an hourly rate to an annual salary?
Multiply the hourly rate by average hours per week and weeks worked per year. For example, $25 × 40 × 52 equals $52,000 before taxes.
How much is $24 an hour per year?
At 40 hours per week and 52 paid weeks, $24 an hour is $49,920 per year, or $960 per week before deductions. Use the calculator if your schedule differs.
How much is $30 an hour per year?
A $30 hourly rate equals $62,400 on a 40-hour, 52-week schedule. With 48 paid weeks, it equals $57,600, which shows why the weeks field matters.
Is the result a gross or net salary?
It is a gross salary estimate before taxes, benefits, retirement contributions, insurance, and other deductions. Net pay depends on personal and location-specific details.
Can I use this for part-time work?
Yes. Enter the actual average hours per week and paid weeks per year. The same hourly rate creates a lower annual salary when fewer hours or weeks are worked.
How do I convert weekly pay to a yearly salary?
Multiply weekly pay by the number of weeks you expect to be paid. A $1,000 weekly rate paid for 50 weeks equals $50,000 before taxes.
Does the calculator include overtime or bonuses?
No. It converts the selected base pay amount and schedule. Add overtime, bonuses, commissions, and benefits separately when comparing total compensation.
Can I convert daily pay to a salary?
Yes. Choose daily pay, enter workdays per week, and set paid weeks per year. The calculator multiplies those assumptions to estimate the annual gross amount.
